Museums today are a cultural battleground. Who should decide what is put on display and how it is presented? Who gets to set the narrative?In this passionately argued book, Jon Sleigh maintains that museums must be for all people and inclusion must be at the heart of everything they do. But what does good inclusion look like in practice? Cleverly structured like a museum tour, Sleigh uses seven illustrative museum objects from seven very different museums to explore such wide-ranging issues as trust-building, representation, digital access, conflicting narratives, removal from display and restitution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41135874474119,"sku":"9781529231397","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781529231397.jpg?v=1711639805","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781529231397","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
